Key result
Infant posture changes and crying are linked to altered blood pressure and pulse rate.
Why the study?
Do alterations in posture and crying affect arterial blood pressure and pulse rate in normal neonates?
Observational (n=71)
Do alterations in posture and crying affect arterial blood pressure and pulse rate in normal neonates?
This study assesses the physiological responses of arterial blood pressure and pulse rate to posture and crying in normal neonates.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Neonatal BP and pulse measurements warrant postural and behavioral context; leaves open quantitative normative data for modern cohorts.
Young et al. (1958) conducted an observational in normal infants (n=71). Alterations in posture and crying was evaluated on arterial blood pressure and pulse rate. The influence of alterations in posture and crying on arterial blood pressure and pulse rate was observed in 71 normal infants, but quantitative results are not reported in the truncated abstract.
